SAN JOSE, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — April 12, 2016 —
Power Integrations (Nasdaq:
POWI),
the leader in high-voltage integrated circuits for energy-efficient
power conversion, today announced its
InnoSwitch™-CE
ICs, a new clade of its InnoSwitch family of off-line CV/CC flyback
switcher ICs. The new devices are optimized for consumer electronics
applications where government regulations for Total Energy Consumption
(TEC) are of utmost importance.

InnoSwitch ICs use a magneto-inductive coupling technique called
FluxLink™,
invented by Power Integrations, which enables precise switching control
of both primary and secondary MOSFETs without unreliable optocouplers.
This topology provides highly efficient synchronous rectification
without the risk of shoot-through during transient loads or line surges,
enhancing product reliability. The technique also exhibits excellent
cross-regulation performance, which often permits the elimination of
DC-DC converter stages in multi-output designs, further enhancing power
sub-system efficiency and reducing system cost.

InnoSwitch-CE
ICs target adapters and chargers for smart mobile products as well as
open-frame power supplies for set-top boxes, computer monitors and other
consumer audio-visual and entertainment products. InnoSwitch-CE ICs
consume less than 10 mW no-load and are also very efficient across the
entire load range, minimizing the energy wasted in low-power standby or
sleep modes, which is often critical to meeting challenging TEC
regulations.

InnoSwitch-CE
ICs include an on-chip 650 V MOSFET with accurate line OV/UV monitoring,
which delivers excellent protection against line surges and swells.
Devices support multiple outputs with an accurate external current sense.

Comments Shyam Dujari, director of product marketing at Power
Integrations: “Consumer electronics goods need to be small and consume
very little power. Importantly, most of these products, such as set-top
boxes and monitors, are left connected to an outlet even when not in
use. With an integrated SR drive and high efficiency across the entire
load range, including standby and idle modes, InnoSwitch-CE ICs are an
important new option for designers faced with challenging TEC
requirements.”

InnoSwitch-CE
devices exceed all international energy-efficiency standards such as
ENERGY STAR, California Energy Commission, European Union Code of
Conduct (CoC) Version 5, Tier 2, and the US Department of Energy
standards (DoE 6). Devices are UL1577 and TUV (EN60950) safety-approved
and EN61000-4-8 (100 A/m) and EN61000-4-9 (1000 A/m) compliant.

Six devices are available, delivering between 12 W and 25 W of output
power for USB Type-C chargers and consumer electronics such as set-top
boxes.
InnoSwitch-CE
samples are available now. Devices are priced from $0.80 in 10,000-piece
quantities. Reference design DER-471 is available from the Power
Integrations website at
